The Philippine government has bought BrahMos from India I think there were 8 of them, however, a former Adviser to the US State Department has made a startling assertion that in the absence of C4ISR capability, the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile is not much of an operational use for the Philippines.

However, the architect of the Indian Navy’s C4I systems deployed on the force’s frontline warships contends that the missile is lethal even in its ‘standalone mode.’

Accordingly, India’s sale of BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles to the Philippines has been seen as a strategic turning point, with New Delhi taking a stand in the South China Sea disputes.

The report added that Tata Chair for Strategic Affairs and a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Ashley Tellis, while conceding that BrahMos is a remarkable contribution to the Philippines’ security, said that in the absence of the C4ISR capability, the Southeast Asian country will not be able to use it “effectively.”

The US Department of Defense often uses C4ISR for “command, control, communications, computers (C4), intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR).
